Red Eyes in the Storm

(Inspired by the Varginha Case, 1996)

(Verse 1)

The rain poured down, the wind howled through the night

Three young girls walked through shadows in flight

Across an empty field, forgotten by time

And there they saw something, beyond reason or rhyme

Crouched on the ground, a figure appeared

Red eyes burning, filled with fear

Terror struck deep, they made the sign

And screamed to the skies: “It’s the devil’s design!”

(Chorus)

Creature or illusion?

Mystery or confusion?

Those eyes that glow in the dark

Left their mark

Is it real or a lie?

A secret from the sky?

Between rumors and truths untold

The story never grows old

(Verse 2)

They told their mother, who just shook her head

But at that place, a strange scent spread

A mark on the ground, the dog sniffed around

But no answers, no clues were found

The town started whispering, the rumors flew

Of lights in the sky and things no one knew

Soldiers denied what people would say

But fear in the streets wouldn’t fade away

(Chorus)

Creature or illusion?

Mystery or confusion?

Those eyes that glow in the dark

Left their mark

Is it real or a lie?

A secret from the sky?

Between rumors and truths untold

The story never grows old

(Bridge)

The keeper saw it, time stood still

They say the firemen took it at will

Three animals died without a cause

And the mystery faded behind closed doors

Who holds the key to what’s been concealed?

A truth the world has yet to reveal

An encounter beyond our comprehension

That left a town with endless tension

(Final Chorus)

Creature or illusion?

Mystery or confusion?

Those eyes that glow in the dark

Left their mark

Is it real or a lie?

A secret from the sky?

Between rumors and truths untold

Varginha’s tale will never grow old

(Outro)

In the echoes of rain, in the whispering air

The mystery lingers, still hanging there

Red eyes, a memory no one can deny

A dark encounter that time couldn’t hide.
